Each visit brings new courage, joy, and independence—help us turn therapy into life-changing moments.
At RDA Victoria, our specially trained horses are more than horses—they’re friends, motivators, and partners on the path to growth. Through riding, carriage-driving, and groundwork, participants with disabilities gain not just physical strength, but confidence, connection, and community.
For many, a simple ride becomes a breakthrough in mobility, social interaction, and emotional wellbeing.
And it all begins with support like yours.
When you give—whether your time, your resources, or your generosity—you’re doing more than helping run programs. You’re creating places where people of all abilities belong, connect, and thrive.
